Directions

Add the olive oil to a soup pot and heat over medium heat. Once hot, add onions and sautee for
about 5 minutes, until translucent. Then add the garlic and cook for 3 more minutes.

Add the sweet potato, carrots, chickpeas and water, then turn the heat to high and bring to a boil.

Once the soup is boiling, turn to low and add the oats, 2 tablespoons (30 g) of the nutritional
yeast, marjoram, smoked paprika, basil, thyme and ground rosemary. Cover and simmer until the oats are thoroughly cooked, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Add in the kale and the other 2 tablespoons (30 g) of nutritional yeast. Cook about 5 to 10 minutes until the kale is tender. Add salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Serving Size: Makes 8 servings

    This is a pretty good simple soup to make any time with simple ingredients. I left out the nutritional yeast (??) and I liked the oats in there. next time I would like to add a veggie broth instead of water (as well as more spices) as I found the soup a little watery. - 4/7/15

    Love! I used spinach instead of kale and added at end with Nutritioal yeast. Had fresh basil on hand so substituted for dry. Also added celery too. Used Quinoa instead of oats. Delicious! - 10/24/15

    A really tasty soup. I left out the oats & nutritional yeast (didn't have it). I tossed in some lentils in their place. I also used some swiss chard. - 10/27/14

    I made this soup last night for dinner--it was so flavorful (look at all those herbs used!)--what salt we used was very minimal. Using steel cut oats in a soup was new for me, it definitely worked tho, reminded me of barley. Will absolutely put this in my soup rotation! - 10/27/14
